Newhouse embraces virtually every known form of mass media from journalism to advertising and public relations to photography and graphic design, to television, radio, and film.All programs emphasize the professional skills and ethical awareness required of communications industry leaders.Writing skills, visual skills, research skills, and presentational skills are among the professional skills which students develop within their communications major while also engaging in a broad liberal arts education.

Newhouse students also have the opportunity to study a second major in the liberal arts, management, or information studies.

Newhouse students are among the best in the nation. A diverse group of highly motivated individuals, they are passionate about the media and work collaboratively in many classes on group assignments—advertising or public relations campaigns, broadcast news shows, documentaries, films, television shows, music recording, multimedia projects, magazines, and public affairs shows.They are also involved in a wide variety of campus media including a student-run television station which produces sixteen shows, three radio stations, a daily newspaper, more than a dozen magazines, advertising and public relations service organizations, and student chapters of professional organizations such as National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, Women in Communications, and the Society of Professional Journalists.
